Answer:
Sonia earns a reputation as a fair and capable judge with her ruling in the baseball strike case.
Explanation:
Megan Stine's "Who is Sonia Sotomayor" covers in nine chapters Sonia's life from the early childhood through her college years and beginning of her law career to her finally becoming one of the nine Supreme Court judges.
Chapter 7 refers to her work as a lawyer and the path she crossed in the process of becoming a judge in the District Court.
Also, this chapter introduces the idea of Sonia being quite capable and fair judge by giving an example of one of her first big cases, in which her ruling was highly praised.
It was the case of Malor League baseball players vs. the team owners. The situation reaches a critical point and the future of the League was in a great danger due to the players' seven months long strike.
Judge Sotomayor, however, quickly reached the verdict which resulted in ending of the strike and making Sonia famous and establishing herself as a fair and capable judge.
